Greetings once again from Queen Christiana, the (not quite so) Cheerful One. Where were the bountiful distribution of points to all and sundry last week? Where were the smiles from happy and successful linkers? I feel like a failed pupil with a report that reads: “C+ Must try harder”.
So in this, the final posting of my reign, I am skipping lightly over my various travels – to Cambridgeshire, Cornwall and eventually The Algarve as my job changed – from English Teacher to Special Needs Co-ordinator, to Relief Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages; how I found myself doing voluntary work hospital visiting and acting as Chaplain’s assistant, and how I ended up in the Algarve in leadership in a small Christian group and, at the beginning of this month, officiating at a Wedding Blessing.
Such questions will remain unanswered unless and until the unlikely event of my ever having a third term of office.
